Shakespeare Marathon Festival

A week on from the biggie at London, four Northampton Road Runners took on the quieter countryside leading out from the beautiful Stratford Upon Avon.  After a lap of the town centre, the route headed through villages and Warwickshire countryside.  The marathon distance was simply two laps of the half version.

Ronnie Ambrose maintained a great pace throughout the race and crossed the line in 3:49:12.  After completing the Paris Marathon three weeks prior, Mark Kennedy (4:03:49 - only seconds difference in time from Paris) and Mary Sullivan (4:41:14) decided on a second marathon distance in April and were pleased with their efforts. 

Tom Sullivan completed the half marathon distance in a pleasing 2:16:03 following an injury in the build up to Paris.
